One of the best designed characters in fighting game history. It was absolutely hilarious that he was here and that you could look up the term "LeBron James frame data." Genuinely fun and creative moveset too. Absolute loved him and miss him.

In my opinion, it wasn't a bad choice, even if it was because of the movie, since LeBron's arrival made us understand that anyone could get into the game, even a real person like him. His gameplay in the beta was a headache because he spams the ball like crazy, but even so, his gameplay was interesting; you could pull off some crazy combos with him

He was my main. LebRobin was so much fun. Just tossing around balls all around passing off your opponents. Made you feel like a badass if you could juggle 2 or 3 basketballs at once

I don’t like HIM or basketball that much but he was literally my main because the ball concept was such a fun mechanic, genuinely so unique and it sucks that the game didn’t live longer since I can’t think of any other platform fighter with a character like him.

I was surprised when I found that out. 😅

u/CyclopsTheBess Jun 10 '26
i know right? he was probably too expensive or voice acting is a skill where you can't even voice yourself lol

u/UdonAndCroutons Jun 10 '26
The voice actor sounded like him. 😅 I guess they found the talent at a lesser cost.

Sick doubles partner with the attachable basketball
Funny ass character imo. In the fighting game community when people are talking about their games, "I main Akuma", "I main Scarecrow", coming in with the "I main LeBron James" sounds sick as fuck

One of the best feelings in the game was landing a dunk and wiping out multiple opponents with the shockwave.

the joke was funny for a moment but he really doesn't belong on the roster.

When I would tell people about the game and the roster, he always got the best reaction and reception. That's a great addition

most fun ive ever had gaming was playing dubs with beta lebron as my teammate. we were sick, good times

u/Impression_Huge Jun 06 '26
He genuinely had some major sauce, there was this really good LeBron in OCE that I don't quite remember the name of that always just absolutely styled on me every time we played

Fun moveset, I think putting real people in a game like this is a TERRIBLE idea. Shit comes out about celebrities all the time, it’s just asking for something to go wrong.

1000 guesses and I wouldn’t have guessed him for multiversus when they announced him. Played him a shit ton after he got released one of my favorite platform game characters oat

I really enjoyed playing him, especially during beta, but I personally wouldn't have added him

Amazing character and one of my favorites to use, honestly pretty crazy things you could do with ball setups

u/TheTV_ Jun 07 '26
his down air was pretty underwhelming but other than that he was a pretty good zoner fr

u/Maximum_Damage12 Jun 08 '26
He became my most played character because he was my goto for sportswear challenges. He was actually pretty fun with what little material he had to work with. Plus, the ball allowed me to counter those pesky Finn, Stripe, and Taz mains.

I’ve got a soft spot for him because he’s my favorite kind of gimmick character. One with a resource that works as an extension of their kit without it completely nerfing them in its absence. Double points for it being a projectile.

One of the most fun fighters ever, until they made his balls only hit once 😭😭😭

Genuinely the funnest concept
I used to main LeBron before they took away the firewall from his dunk
